Seattle Police Officers’ Guild, in which a patrol officer “punched a handcuffed woman in the face hard enough to cause an orbital fracture.” The officer’s union gamely defended him (natch), arguing that he had acted “perhaps reflexively” and that his “patience was being tried.” Well in that case… We highly recommend suggesting – and honoring – these defenses when your little brats (inevitably) come to blows. Might we suggest an alternate line of work?
